To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, HARRY E.-DOANE, a citizenof lhe Unileil States of America, and resident of Cincinnati,bounty ofHamilton,

uiul Slat-e of Ohio. have invented certain new aiul usolulIn'iprovemenls in vHorseii ollnr-i lullin l ilnohines, o? which bhefol.- lowing a. s1 (cilllflllifiL lily invention ri-lzilcs to horsecollar sluliing nmchines o i llu- (lass which has a reriprornting feeilroll for feeding straw from n roreptzurle or hopper through a tube intothe easing of a, horse oollzm'nml in which a rotating member is providedfor roi'niing the slrziw in [he hopper, above the reciprocating feedlOLl.

The object of my invention is ie provide a rotating member for engagingthe straw near the helium of the-hopper, tOaa' depth such as to present,e maximumnniount oi the stiancis of the straw in a. position at right:inglw to the travel of the feed rod, and whii-h (loos not obstruct thedownward travel of the straw to the iieedrocl.

In theaccompanying drawings, Figure 1. is a central vertical sectionalView of as much of a horse collar stuffing machine as is necessary 1:0illustrate my invention, parts of the hopper being" shown broken 011*,for (*lenrness of illustrating. Fig. 2 is a plan view of my agitatingring".

The machine embodying my invention comprises a cylindrical hopper A. forhol lmg: the struw n l'mse 3 upon which the hopper is u'iounieil, feedrod l) wl'ueh. recipromiss in oinnuil rinal slot in the bottom of.
